People are afraid of what they don't understand. Mental diseases often cause such unusual behavior that unless one is a compassionate person, or understands mental illness, or has a family member that forces us to deal with it, people don't want to get involved. Yes. There is a "stigma" attached to it.
Perhaps in hundreds of years when the human mind and its workings are more well understood people will not be so intolerant. But unfortunately, by then people may be either cloned or killed, according to their genetics and or defects.

Well gee, "society" is still hung up on attractiveness, gender, skin color, location, clothing, the car you drive, how fat you are, your hair color, your eye color, how much money you make, your job, I oculd go on. Society is a mixed bag. Maybe one should care less about what others thnk.

Because it's EVIL.
It should be totally destroyed and a new one put in its place.
TOLERANCE RULES, OK?
